Resolved, That we condemn in the
strongest terms any move made by
the republican county officials OF
whatever nature likely to advance the
interests of this county; such conduct
on their part is reprehensible, as it is
likely to keep our party from ever
gaining the honors and emoluments
aforesaid.
Resolved. That we pledge ourselves
to do everything that under heaven
we can think of, if We can only get
into the offices now occupied by re
publicans, that if any of us are elect
ed such will work without salary and
board around in order to curtail the
expenses of the county,
Resolved, That it is unjust on the
part of republicans to look back to
the time when our party tried to dis
member the union. 1t is their duty
to look only to what we promise for
the future, and accept, as verify. such
promises on our part.
Resolved, That as democrats, in
order to gain point for our party in
this county, we will stir up as many
independent candidates as we can in
the republican ranks, and by promis-
es (which, as party,we know are not
to be fulflled), we will entrance the
mugwumps of the county, even as did
our Grover in the state of New
York.
Resolved, That our official organ
fling as much personal and false dirt
as 1t can at the republican candidates
during this campaign, and thus assume
all liability without having any re-
SpOnSlblllty.
Resolved, That when, on Nov. 9th,
we, as party, are again showed un-
der miles deep, at the election, we will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
We have gone through all the forms
of opposition, and will be glad to
know, that for our own sakes, we have
been defeated, and that for two years
more. at least, We will enjoy peace,
happiness and prosperity under re.
publican rule.

THE SOLDIERS FRIEND.
The democratic party of this COT

Inc OemOcratlc party Vi tuiS couH-
try is posing as the soldiers friend
truly edifying spectacle, indeed.
Since when did the democratic party
become friend to the soldier 2 An
swer: When 1t sought to gain acces-
sion to the offices in this county by
nominating for office three
soldiers. What about the martial
record of the soldiery it puts forth for
county officials !? Can more than one
of them bring proof that he ever
smelled powder from an enemy's gun?
Yes, the democratic party is a friend
of the union soldiers. Why, it caused
his very existence. We would have
had no union soldiers except for that
party. The pernicious doctrines
taught by the democratic party
brought forth the union soldier, but
not in friendship, for it was war to the
death. Oh, yes, the democratic party
was the union soldiers friend when it
inaugurated the greatest civil war of
modern history in order to divide the
union and perpetuate slavery. So it
was when it formed its copperhead
knights of the golden circle, and 9TH
er similar organizations in the north,
while the union soldier was in the
south, endeavoring to quell the rebel
lion, to defeat the objects for which
the soldier was struggling. So it was
in 1863, when it met in Chicago and

The Democrat takes exception to
certain remarks made by the CAT in
reference to the Cleveland Forakerep-
isolde, at the centennial, in Philadel.
phia. The facts IN relation to that
event, as we have them from reliable
authority, are these Governor Fora
ker and President Cleveland, accom-
panied by their wives, CHANGED to
meet, and the Governor was present
ed to the President, who shook him
by the hand, aud in turn presented
him to Mrs. Cleveland, who deliber-
ately turned her back on him without
speaking. The Governor then pre-
sented Mrs. Foraker to the President
and Mrs. Cleveland. The President
recognized the lady, but the first lady
in the land would not. The Car claims
that by thus ignoring lady and gen.
tleman introduced to her by her hus-
band, Mrs. Cleveland acted in an un-
dignified manner and little becoming
what American citizens expect from
q lady occupying her present position

Consumption" Run no risks, but begin
Immediately to take Ayers Cherry
Pectoral.
Several years ago, James Birchard, of
Darien, Conn.,, was severely ill. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced a well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
J. 8. Bradley, Maiden, Mass, writes
"Three winters ago took severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. was so weak that
I could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed necessarily. consulted
several doctors, but they were power
less, and all agreed that I was in Con-
sumption. At last, a friend brought me
a bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
From the first dose, found relief.
Two bottle cured me, and my health
has since been perfect"

resolved that the war in which those
soldiers were engaged, and from which
so many returned wounded or dis
abled by disease, and so many never
returned at all, was failure. Yes,
indeed, the great unterrified, unwash-
ed democracy is the soldiers friend.
1t never did any act of any kind, ex-
cept for his benefit; it never kicked
him out of any Office to make room
for the brigadier of the south or the
Nasby's of the north; it never through
its piscatorially inclined president,
vetoed any union soldier or sailor
pension bills, or through that same
fishy channel ordered the trophies,
by the union soldiers so bravely wrest-
ed from rebellious democrats, return
ed es palm of democratic victory,
to those who had, in more ways than
those of honorable warfare, deprived
them of their comrades. Yes, the
union soldiers of Thomas county
fully realize the great friendship of
the democratic party for them, and
will be sure to vote the democratic
ticket this fall, because Marble, Smith,
and Leach have been nominated for
position by them to catch votes. Like
ly, isn't it?

Medical Uses for Eggs.

For burns or scalds, nothing is more
soothing than the Write of an egg.
which may be poured over the wound.
1t is softer, as IL varnish for a burn.
than collodion, anil being always at
hand can be applied Immediately. It
is also more cooling than the "sweet
oil and cotton which was formerly sup
posed to be the surest application to al
lay the smarting pain. 1t is the con-
tact with the air which gives the ex-
treme discomfort experienced from or
dinary accidents Of this kind; and a1y
thing which excludes air and prevents
inflammation is the thing to be at once
applied. The egg is also considered
one OF the best remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up slightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed, it tends by its
emollient qualities to lessen the infiam.
nation OF the stomach and intestines.
and by forming transient coating on
those organs to enable nature to re-
sumo her healthful sway over the dis
eased body. Two, or at most three.
eggs per day, would be all that is re-.
quired in ordinary cases; and since tho
egg is not merely medicine, but food as
well, the lighter the diet otherwise. and
the quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the recovery.
